Sandals Barbados

This trip was one for the books and so far the most holistic travel I’ve experienced this year. The staff at Sandals were phenomenal and I want to make sure they are recognized by name. Firstly, Biannna, the most professional, friendliest, hospitable young lady at Sandals greeted and tended to us with so much grace and intention that I literally miss her right now. Larkan, Tanisha, Nakeem (?) and “star girl” the young lady that rein-acted Thriller with me in the front lobby collectively made our trip most memorable. You can find these remarkable full of life and tremendous hearts at the bar in the front lobby. Our taxi driver was equally warm and generous with his patience while we explored Bridgetown. The resort bedroom bathrooms were not the most updated and left room for improvement. We had a garden view from the first floor with a stunning walk out terrace. The food was amazing at all the restaurants. We loved the live music at the bar at night. I will definitely return to Sandals as long as the service and attention to guests remains the same. Great job! Oh, then of course the easy access to the beach and walking distance to night life were all pluses. I can’t wait to return and hoping I’ll see familiar faces.

Had the most amazing time in Sandals Barbados resort!! The food was as great, excellent staff throughout the property, live entertainment is a must see!!I

Facts: I purchased two rooms with an oceanview. I was told 30 days before our visit that the pool we overlooked was emptied and the restaurant/swim up bar was closed. I asked several times during that 30 day period if I could get another room and was told multiple times that there was no rooms available. When we arrived, Sandals Barbados had indeed upgraded our room to a garden view unless I stuck my way out to see the corner of the sea. This was not an upgrade. I don't care what you call it, bigger and better, I paid for an oceanview room. Because the whole building was completely closed, to my dismay, we had zero, 0, null time in a lounger at the main or infinity pools. The butlers, slaves, took up all of the seats first thing each morning even though nobody even showed up until 11:00am from my observations. In a nutshell, the people who work at the hotel always said hi and would take you personally to a location if you were lost, but as for anything above and beyond, the laziness of the bar staff was glaring. Up on the 6th floor pool, we sat in the pool all day and even though the pool wasn't busy, not one bartender made one move to ask if we wanted drinks. As for the servers walking around the pool, not one was observed during our visit. I spent several thousand dollars to come to Sandal Barbados and probably drank 200.00 worth of drinks, if that. The outside environment was dead. No music playing in the trees. Dead. The self-serve coffee machines didn't make any flavored coffees. As I have told the management at the resort, I would never, ever visit Sandals Barbados and just to let you know, I am not bagging as a first timer. This was our second visit to Sandals and already booked our third since Sandals is the brand. I would suspect that Saint Vincent will be much better like Antigua was. I think a thorough investigation into Barbados should be begun. The management tried to give me 250.00 and then sign for my silence. Not happening. I am contacting legal counsel since I think this is a matter of bait and switch. You sold me two rooms with a complete oceanview and you gave me a garden view.

Stayed here at this resort for the first time with my husband on our honeymoon. We did the Butler service and we had Shak, Ron, and Kev. The three of them took care of us all week and honestly just made the experience top-tier. They made sure we have the seats we wanted at the pool, made all dinner reservations and they walked us to every meal. Experience at this resort was amazing

We had an absolutely amazing stay at Sandals Barbados! From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and completely taken care of. The resort was beautiful, the service was outstanding, and the entire experience truly felt 5-star from start to finish. A special shoutout to the Merry Monkey pub staff who made us feel so at home every time we visited. Jack always greeted us with a smile and made sure we were well taken care of with impeccable service. He went out of his way to elevate our experience. Jesse and Dwayne were incredibly kind, attentive, and made the BEST espresso martinis! We also cannot say enough wonderful things about our butlers — Stephen, Shamira, and Moesha. They were attentive, thoughtful, kind, and went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. Thank you to everyone who made our trip so special. We had an incredible time and will absolutely be back!
